Carta de apelo ao alto comissário da polícia sueca. A pirataria digital é uma das principais razões que levou ao decréscimo de vendas em música e video, afectando Autores, Compositores, Artistas, Músicos, Actores, Produtores e todos os que trabalham nesta área. Tudo leva a crer que a maioria dos downloads efectuados pelos internautas Portugueses, são feitos através do site Pirate Bay, havendo neste momento um grande número de queixas-crime relacionados com o protocolo Bit Torrent.
As you are aware, both physical and digital piracy is severely affecting the Music and Film industry worldwide and Portugal is no exception. - The Portuguese music market, lost about 50% of its value during the last 5 years, as well as half of the sales and jobs, affecting the live hood of our Authors, Com posers , Artists, Musicians, Actors, Video and Record producers. - One of the main reasons for this crisis is digital piracy, due lo poor enforcement of the law and the fact that more and more households have now broadband access (according lo Anacom, the Portuguese National Authority for Telecoms, 14.3% of the Portuguese households have now broadband access - 1st quarter 2007). - Among the different digital threats, the most important are the services that use the Bit Torrent Protocol, due lo the fact that this type of service allows users to download films and the entire discography of an Artist within minutes. - In the Portuguese courts there are now over 40 criminal claims against and some of them relate to the Bit Torrent Protocol, and we have reasons lo believe that some of the Torrents downloaded by the Portuguese torrent users may well come from Pirate Bay. - The reason we write to you is the fact that this case In Sweden is pending for more than one year and during this time the Pirate Bay activities is affecting right holders around the world. We therefore kindly urge you to take the necessary steps to come lo a swift enforcement of the law in this case. - We trust you will understand our concerns and act accordingly in order to stop the effects this case has outside the Swedish borders. - With kind regards, Director General AFP |
